Algebraic Geometry II

Course Description:

Depending on student interest, this may either be a standard course on schemes, with a bit of cohomology, following roughly chapter 2 and a bit of chapter 3 in Hartshorne's textbook, or it may be an introduction to complex algebraic geometry with topics from a combination of Griffiths-Harris, Wells, and possibly other sources. Other topics are possible depending on interest. The scheduled time may change to conform to student schedules if needed.

Textbook:

None required

Prerequisites:

None required, but some familiarity with varieties and commutative algebra would be useful
